I agree. Weird that any conservative has trouble with the concept.

I’m pro-choice. I’m pro-gay rights, Giuliani said. He was then asked whether he supports a ban on what critics call partial-birth abortions. “No, I have not supported that, and I don’t see my position on that changing,” he responded. Source: CNN.com, “Inside Politics” Dec 2, 1999 http://www.ontheissues.org/2008/Rudy_Giuliani_Abortion.htm

ANDERSON COOPER 360 DEGREES (November 14, 2006)

RUDY GIULIANI (R), FORMER MAYOR OF NEW YORK CITY: I'm pro- choice. I'm pro-gay rights.

KING: Giuliani supports a woman's right to an abortion, and back in 1999, he opposed a federal ban on late-term abortions.

GIULIANI: No, I have not supported that, and I don't see my position on that changing.

KING: Immigration could be another presidential landmine. Back in 1996, Mayor Giuliani went to federal court to challenge new federal laws requiring the city to inform the federal government about illegal immigrants.

JEFFREY: He took the side of illegal immigrants in New York City against the Republican Congress.

KING: Giuliani opposes same-sex marriage but as mayor, he supported civil unions and extending health and other benefits to gay couples. He also supported the assault weapons ban and other gun control measures opposed by the National Rifle Association.

GIULIANI: I'm in favor of gun control. I'm pro-choice.

Republican Big-Wigs Support Pro-Abortion Event in NY

Pro-abortion Governor George Pataki and New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, who also supports unrestricted abortion, are co-chairs of the 2000 Choice Award Presentation to be held on May 30 at the St. Regis Hotel in New York City. The event is sponsored by the Republican Pro-Choice Coalition, a group that is campaigning for the removal of the pro-life plank from the Republican National Platform.

So I thank you, I thank NARAL for taking the lead in establishing freedom of choice for all of us,...

Not for the father.

Not for the unborn baby.

Pro-choice my a$$.

I'm told of how impressed some people are with Rudy's "resolve" after he saw nearly 3,000 people die in the attack on the WTC on 9/11. Yet, during his term in office as Mayor of NYC nearly 1,000,000 unborn children were slaughtered in that city alone. And the only resolve Rudy shows in the face of such a bloody holocaust is to support the continuance of it. He equates the butchery of pre-birth children with "freedom" and "choice." He even celebrates it with its strongest proponents - groups like NARAL - bragging of his strong disagreement with the vast majority of the Republican on trying to put an end to the slaughter that has killed over 40,000,000 babies since the Roe v. Wade legal atrocity.

It is said that Rudy is ready to take on the whole world in response to the deaths of 3,000 Americans in the WTC attack but he not only won't even lift a finger in response to the deaths of 40,000,000 American children - he wants the slaughter to continue unabated. He has even stated that he would willingly pay to have his own grandchild butchered by an abortionist if his daughter couldn't pay for it herself. And he even thinks that your tax money should be used to pay for the unborn children of poor women to be dismembered and sucked into a sink.

Yet, there is a massive propaganda effort occuring to sugar coat Giuliani's extreme liberal views, statements, and policies and Mayor of New York City. But it goes beyond softening his hardcore liberal views. The big lie is being told and told often that Giuliani is a conservative. Which he is NOT, by any sane definition of the word. That propaganda effort is seen in major magazines, newspapers, and right here on Free Republic.

Let there be no confusion. Giuliani is a liberal - one of the most liberal people in the Republican Party - and the MOST LIBERAL REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE ever. Would it be easier to ignore his liberal, anti-Republican platform views and support the current frontrunner in the Republican Primary? For some. But what is the RIGHT thing to do? Do you principles mean anything to you? Do the traditional principles of the Republican Party mean anything to you? We're well over a year outside of election day. Any one of the major candidates could be made into the GOP nominee. They just need YOUR support in the form of donations and work. Are we so fearful of a tough election fight with Hillary that we'll put up a candidate whose liberal views do not represent the views of the vast majority of the Republican Party? Do we surrender our conservative values for electoral expedience? And if Rudy is our nominee and he does win the election, what does it profit the Republican Party if we win the election but we lose our soul?

Maybe some people are right and the time isn't right for a hardcore conservative candidate. Fine. Maybe we could go with a moderate more in the mold of our current President. I'm very unhappy with a number of things that President Bush has done, but I would far prefer 4 to 8 more years of that than 4 to 8 years of a liberal like Giuliani. Pick a conservative candidate, or a more moderate candidate if you must. But supporting a liberal like Giuliani is an unconscionable choice for any self-respecting conservative Republican.

Look what I just found in the FEC database. Giuliani accepted $1,000 from NARAL in 1999.

Committees Who Gave To This Candidate
GIULIANI, RUDOLPH W
THE CANDIDATE

NEW YORK STATE NARAL INC WOMEN'S HEALTH POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE 04/24/1999 1000.00 99990065875

In 1999, NARAL gave only $250 to Hillary Rodham Clinton and 4 times as much to pro-abortion Giuliani.

Let's look at the other candidates that NARAL NY supports:

Arcuri for Congress - Democrat - $1,000
Tim Bishop for Congress - Democrat - $1,000
Tim Bishop for Congress - Democrat - $2,000
Tim Bishop for Congress - Democrat - $1,000
Tim Bishop for Congress - Democrat - $500
Hillary Clinton for Senate - Democrat - $250
Hillary Clinton for Senate - Democrat - $1,000
Hillary Clinton for Senate - Democrat - $2,100
Hillary Clinton for Senate - Democrat - $1,000
Kirsten Killibrand for Congress - Democrat - $2,500
Giuliani for Senate - Republican - $1,000
Brian Higgins for Congress - Democrat - $1,000
Nita Lowey for Congress - Democrat - $1,000
Daniel Maffei for Congress - Democrat - $1,000
Carolyn McCarthy for Congress - Democrat - $500
David Mejias for Congress - Democrat - $1,000
Jerrold Nadler for Congress - Democrat - $500
Jerrold Nadler for Congress - Democrat - $1,000
Regina Seltzer for Congress - Democrat - $1,000
Louise Slaughter for Congress - Democrat - $1,000

That's it. These are the ONLY federal candidates that NARAL NY has ever donated to according to the FEC database. And every single one, except for liberal Rudy Giuliani, is a Democrat. What a stunning endorsement for Giuliani's..ahem..."Republican" views.

From the FEC database: Giuliani accepted $1,000 from NARAL in 1999. NARAL gave only $250 to Hillary Rodham Clinton and 4 times as much to pro-abortion Giuliani.

N-i-i-i-c-e find, Spiff.

Clearly, NARAL trusted Rudy''s pro-abortion credentials, and Rudy's willingness to advance NARAL's radical abortion-on-demand agenda, even more than NARAL trusted Hillary.

Course, now that his handlers emailed this to Rudy's campaign Hdq, they'll have to dream up a story to cover his tracks. Maybe they'll use Hillary's line about her spouse being the victim of a vast right-wing conspiracy. Oh wait--they can't say that--Rudy is supposed to be (drum roll please) "a conservative." ROTFLMCO.

Let's just ask Rudy and his wife Judy when they last attended a pro-life rally. Was it before or after Judy and Rudy marched in the gay rights parade? Or maybe it was after Rudy declared his unwavering support for partial birth abortions? Or before Rudy told Phil Donahue he'd give his daughter the money for an abortion (to kill his own grandchild).

And this guy is being described as a conservative here on FR by a bunch of liberals dressed as conservatives. Talk about cross dressers!

Giuliani for Senate - Republican - $1,000

And I am convinced that the majority of Go Rudy! supporters are also pro-abort as well as being pro-gay rights, anti-gun, and not averse to the occasional 'good' tax.

Yes, but these are all good conservative values, aren't they? /S

NARAL candidates are not for me either. Sad that any in the GOP would be in the same corner as Sangerites.
